How did the Me Too hashtag start?

The hashtag started trending worldwide after a call to action from actress Alyssa Milano.

It was in the wake of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's downfall over of allegations of sexual misconduct spanning decades.

Posting on Twitter, Alyssa passed along a suggestion from a friend that women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted post "Me Too" to give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.

More than two dozen women - among them actresses Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow - have made accusations against Weinstein including rape and sexual assault.

Weinstein insists sexual relations he had were consensual.

The hashtag is in support of all women who have been sexually harassed by someone.

Men have also been using the hashtag to show support to women and to reveal their own incidents of abuse too.

Alyssa's rally call has sparked off other hashtags too.

In France, Twitter users are using #balancetonporc or "expose the pig" to encourage women to name and shame their attackers, while #Womenwhoroar is being used to encourage victims of sexual abuse to speak up.

Who are 'The Silence Breakers'?

The "silence breakers" refer to any man or woman who came forward to say that they had been the victim of abuse.

The brave group were named The Time Person Of The Year in December 2017.

She posted a statement on Twitter saying convicted sex offender Larry Nassar began molesting her when she was 13 and continued for seven years.

What went on at Westminster?

A secret list of sex-pest MPs are among politicians listed in a WhatsApp group set up by furious female researchers, secretaries and aides.

The group was created to share ­horror ­stories and warn new recruits of sleazy bosses.

Reports include tales of MPs groping staff in lifts and a Mi­nister branded “Not Safe In Taxis” because of his wandering hands.

What happened with Donald Trump?

The White House has dismissed calls for a congressional investigation of allegations Donald Trump sexually harassed women, saying the American people had spoken on the matter by electing him president.

Three women who claim they were sexually harassed by Mr Trump before he ran for president urged Congress to investigate his behaviour and allegations of misconduct.

President Trump has denied all allegations made by Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks.
